Just the argument that so many bells and whistles had been dropped

Sort of. The version of IM6 was actually the HD version; HD
capabilities were dropped for IM8.
iMovie 8 was a complete, ground-up, rewrite of the program, because
iMovie had lots of bells and whistles, but they were all kinda
kludged in, and the duct tape and baling wire was starting to show.
(also iMovie always had serious issues around things like keeping
video and audio in sync; and it got worse the more you did in any
given project.)
At the same time Apple brought out iMovie 8, they also dropped the
price of Final Cut Express to $100, and FCE beats any version of
iMovie for editing.
I guess if I could find FCE for $100, I'd go with that ... then I
would need something to compress and make the DVD from FCEs output?
What would that be?
Or does FCE also encode to DVD what it produces? That would be like
using iMovie and then iDVD ...
I'll continue to read up on it ... seems like a lot of info to wade
through to decide what to buy ... then they throw in moving towards
Intel only ...
